First Steps

Just like he's been waiting for us to catch up with him, Cade showed off his awesome balance this morning by walking several steps at a time all by himself. Lately, I've been walking him around only holding one hand and thinking he's been doing well. This morning, Jake was laying on the floor and Cade climbed up his leg to stand up and just let go and stood there like it was nothing. So, we started encouraging him to walk back and forth between us. At first he was hesitant and tried to drop down to crawl, but within a couple of minutes he gained the confidence to want to try. It was great. He got better and more confident within 10 or 20 minutes and was taking several steps. All day he practiced more and more. He stood up without anything to hold onto all by himself, he voluntarily let go of me to walk away from me and voluntarily let go of things to walk toward me. How fun! Go Cade!!
